OUR SINCERE APOLOGIES

[MtnViewRanch]

Well I guess the big question is why? Maybe it's not any of our business but since you've sold so many tractors to folks on this site (including me) I think that we should know if there is a problem with the company, the product, you just couldn't get along with them, unreasonable demands from Kioti?

We can only hope that Rick can elaborate so that many questions will be answered.

I should have also mentioned that Rick was as fair to me as any human could be, went out of his way to give good advice and be helpful. For me Kioti was Rick Wallace.

You know how big business is and I'm sure Rick, the nice person he is, would probably just let this be water over the dam and move on. I'd bet it's one of the later though. I have heard they can be tough on their dealers and maybe they didn't like that Rick sold other brands in competition to theirs. Less headaches for him and he is still having fun. It can't get that much better than that. It's just a shame that Kioti lost a great representative of their product.

This is like the Pope announcing he is no longer Catholic!:confused2::confused2::confused2: Not something you ever expect to happen. Glad to hear the doors are still open and the excellent customer service is going to continue.:thumbsup:

Rick, no need for you to apologize to us, you and your team have always gone above and beyond. Sorry to hear you and Kioti have parted ways, your support and guidance is what convinced me to take a leap of faith and buy a tractor brand I had never heard of before. As others have said.. Kioti has lost a huge asset in loosing you as a dealer.
Best of luck and success with your business.

Well, I have posted before, but it gives me the heebie jeebies (whatever they are) to think I bought a tractor and now the dealer is not selling them anymore.
I'm the guy who bought a Sony Beta Max just before they stopped making them and I bought a Ford V10 F250 (8-MPG) just before gas went to $4-5 per gallon. Just a couple of examples of my buying acumen, don't even ask me about the stock market.
Very discouraging not to know if my purchase is another lemon or lemonade.
However, no problems for first 18 moths of ownership so keep my fingers crossed.

Agreed,
My Wallace Tractor CK20S sits proudly in the center of our carport,
It's the 1st thing I greet everyday I come home.
But I found myself looking at it this morning differently, thinking "please don't break".
Rick stated he stands behind all sales, and I beleive him 1000% .

The Ck just looks differant knowing it is not good engough for Wallace Tractor to sell ???
Just a weird feeling.

I would continue to go the Rick/Amy for all my Tractor needs, they are straight shooters and great people.

All I can say is "You've got to be kidding".
For once, I'm speechless

It has been said already but I feel I NEED to say this.

I will start off by saying I was not fortunate enough to buy a tractor from Wallace Tractor! I spoke with Rick numerous times and corresponded with him even more. I ended up buying a low hour used Kioti.

Here goes: KIOTI are you listening??? The reason I bought a Kioti is 2 fold. 1) Rick and Co. informed me about the Kioti brand. They alleviated my fear about Kioti. The second (2) reason was Rodick Farm Machinery. This is, or was, my local Kioti dealer. Rick and Bud worked in concert, unknown to each other, to convince me that Kioti was a sound product line.

Now Wallace Tractor and Rodick Farm Machinery have both parted ways with Kioti. This is alarming me greatly!!!! If Kioti is unwilling to continue a relationship with two well established dealers what will they be willing to do to help lonely me? Will I be flapping in the breeze when something happens?

Kioti Inc- YOU ARE BLOWING IT !!!! Big Time.
